Troubling Katy Perry Related Post Of The Day #2
You knew there was going to be a follow up to this, didn’t you?
I like to think there’s sort of an unspoken pact between us, dear reader. For my part, I promise to rustle myself out of bed each day and trawl the internet for stupid stories that I hope you’ll find somewhat amusing. Occasionally I’ll share with you my favourite things, like the Australian internet version of Oprah (where’s my Stedman/Gayle? Sigh…), and from time to time I’ll tell you that I hate something with a red hot passion and declare it to be 100% rubbish that was in all likelihood produced by Satan’s loins. And no matter what I’m telling you, you know it’s coming from my heart, from a place of truth and honesty.
And it is with that pact in mind that I must update you all on my feelings about Katy Perry.
Oh, god…
Oh, god…
This is harder than I thought…Okay, deep breath McGuire… Just do it! DO IT!
I REALLY LIKE THE SONG ‘HOT N COLD’
This came as a complete shock. The other week my friends Dave and Kerry were telling me “It’s awesome! You love great pop, you’ll love this song!” and then they began dancing aggressively at me, and I was a delightful mix of both terrified and sceptical.
Then someone gave me a Now That’s What I Call The 100% Hits Of Summer IV cd and I saw that ‘Hot N Cold’ was on it, and I quickly tossed the disc into the nearest available audio device and waited to prove Dave and Kerry wrong…
… and I couldn’t. It’s really good. I wish Britney had sung it instead, or maybe even The Bass :(
I’d avoided ever hearing it because Ur So Gay and I Kissed A Girl were so epically shitful that I was convinced Ms Perry would never, ever be able to redeem herself in my eyes. I feel weird about loving Hot N Cold. I’m just going to tell myself the genius of the tune is due to Max Martin’s pop brilliance (and simultaneously denigrate Katy’s contribution to the song by assuming all she brought to the table was a bordering-on-offensive-as-far-as-sufferers-of-mental-illness-go-but-considering-previous-songs-it’s-actually-rather-tame reference to having a case of “a love bi-polar”).
Still, honesty is how we roll, kittens. I had to be honest with you about this guilty liking of Katy Perry’s music, and I hope you can accept me for my many flaws.

Hey, Katy Perry. Zooey Deschanel called, she wants her eyes back.
Oh Jess, why? The song is absurdly similar to UFO by Sneaky Sound System. Perhaps you thought it was SSS in a flurry of disco beats and aggressive dancing?
ED: Sneaky Sound System make me PUNCHY, specifically the UFO song. I refuse to believe the two sound alike. If I find out I like both Katy Perry AND “SSS” (as you so charmingly shortened their name to), I am probably going to drown myself in a vat of tequila. And you’ll be to blame. TAKE IT BACK.
D-did I s-say SSS? I clearly meant um, Fascination by Alphabeat. Also, is there really tequila up for grabs here?
Also, on a less punchy note, how does one work for Defamer?
I’m in the same boat as you – I can not believe that no matter how hard I try I can’t help but like this song. It goes against all common sense and better judgement and the very thought of my peers gaping mouths of disbelief is keeping me up nights but that’s the power of good pop. You can’t deny the high.
